Yukaku-tei is an observation deck located on Yashima in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It is located on a steep cliff on the northern peak of Yashima, offering a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea.
The view from Yukakutei is truly spectacular. You can see the entire Bisan Seto Islands, including Shodoshima, Megijima, and the rice-ball-shaped islands of Otsuchijima and Kozuchijima. The sheer cliffs of Yashima are also impressive.

With the island silhouettes on the horizon during daylight hours, the sea turning crimson at dusk, and clear views into the distance in the clear winter air, this is a spot that will satisfy even the most discerning photographers.

The path to Yukakutei is a well-maintained footpath, approximately a 40-minute walk from Yashimayama Kami Nanrei Parking Lot or a 30-40-minute walk from Dankorei.

Small observation points are dotted along the way, and the view widens the further you walk, making it a truly captivating experience. The path is well-maintained, but has some ups and downs, and is a mix of paved and unpaved roads.

There are also information boards explaining the battlefields of the Genpei War, allowing you to enjoy the view from a historical perspective.

[Trivia]
It's said that in 1923, Princess Masako (later Empress Kōjun) visited Yashima and named the northern end "Yukakutei."

[Useful Points to Note]
- There is no road to Yukakutei. It's a 30-minute walk from the parking lot. Lighting is poor after sunset, so bring a headlamp.
- The shuttle bus's frequency varies depending on the season and day of the week. Be sure to check the latest timetable.
